does anyone know if there are stores/whole sale places that we can get wedding favors or a showroom? I know some.. but not exactly what i am looking for.

Try wedding things.. they have showroom but you need to call to set up an appt.. i think.. www.weddingthings.com

There is a chinese one in 帝國中心..not much varieties though..but have some chinese styles one..

You can also go to Daiso to choose it~ $2 each only

you can go to Michael's

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-12 11:17

thanks for the ideas.. i have also looked up some whole sale web sites from hk.... but the only problem is we would hv to pay for the shipping fees

If you have relatives/ friends coming from Hong Kong, you can asked them to pick it up and bring it over too.

That is what I did.

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-12 14:16

really depends on what do you want to get! Like chopsticks with both of your name on it, it's a lot less expensive in HK, only HK$7 a pair

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-12 22:28

i thought about having keychains.. the site has alot of styles range from $11.5-15 or higher. it includes the box with ribbon, printed name and date.. but if you don't want any/all of the things proved, price will be lower.

but i want to know if any of you DIY your wedding favors?

Michael's is great if you want to DIY. Go have a look to get some ideas.

We all have been to lots of weddings, and received lots of those gift.
How many of them that we actually used?
I received Chopstick before, but I wouldn't use it, cuz I only got a pair.
Crystal decorations? I dunt remember where I stuffs them exactly... (well, I think I have a box full of them, but don't want to throw away, cuz they are all pretty memorable).

Chocolate and cup cakes are pretty good. Cuz atleast you can eat them, and not taking up space(except your stomach). And you can attach a small thank you card, and have your wedding picture's website on it (and password if needed).

Just some ideas

oh thanks for the ideas... i actually like your idea about putting the photos on website and have them look at it

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-13 08:07

I DIY all my wedding favours, but it takes a lot of time. If you've a year so from your BIG day, you can try DIY, otherwise just buy it.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-13 09:34

Once I made 500 Lilac colour White Chocolate Roses
the other time 800 Mazipan fruits with gold leafs
You can go to Charlie's Chocolate for small boxes and chocolate party favours, tulle, ribbons etc. BTW, I don't like their chocolate

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-13 10:11

Mine is a hand folded rose with 2 choco at the bottom as stand
I've printed the ribbon in China with both our names and my big day
if you want to see the pic of my DIY favour, send me your email

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-13 10:52

icing: your wedding favor is very cute.. as for folding the paper roses - did you hv to fold a large number? cause i can see that will definitely take some time!

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-13 11:46

I've made over 200, that takes me a long long time to do it

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-13 13:29

did you purchased the chocolate from LD or places like that?

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-13 13:33

Costco

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-13 16:40

oh yeah.. totally forgot about Costco! how much did you end up for the chocolates?

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-14 09:10

I think it's around than $60, coz it's only $13.5 a case, and I've only bought 4-5 cases
The total costs of my favours are not expensive at all, less than $150. But the work involved is huge.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-14 09:16

we'll get our wedding favors from hk.. and my fiance's sister will bring a little bit back each time

作者: icing 時間: 2009-5-14 09:21

Great! You may want to buy other accessories in HK as well, like decor for the car, feather pen set for signing the marriage cert......

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-5-14 09:37

作者: Arlui 時間: 2009-6-15 14:09

A little late in the thread..but you might also consider donating money to some charity instead and getting some cards to put on your banquet tables..

This is what I did for my wedding...I felt like the money is better spent there than something most people will throw away in a month
